The UK's population is projected to rise significantly over the next decade, largely due to net migration, with around 4.9 million expected to migrate to the UK. Meanwhile, the natural change, defined as the difference between births and deaths, is projected to be nearly neutral. England's population growth is expected to outpace other UK's nations, with an increase of 7.8% by 2032. London's population may grow to almost 10 million by 2043, with an increasingly aging demographic also a highlight of the projections.
The driver of this growth is migration, with natural change projected to be around zero.
England's population is projected to grow faster than the UK's other nations, up to mid 2032, with an increase of 7.8 per cent.
The latest projections highlight the UK's increasingly aging population, with the number of people living in the UK aged over 85 to almost double by 2047.
Previous projections suggest that London's population could reach just shy of 10 million by 2043.
